Imogen Ibbett, a former neurosurgery registrar at the Monash
Medical Centre who spoke out about bullying she had experienced, said
she felt constant fear while working under Ms Maroulis, who was
"extremely abusive".

Bullying allegations against a senior neurosurgeon at one of
Victoria's most prestigious teaching hospitals have reportedly
been upheld after a formal investigation.
Helen Maroulis, a
surgeon and former training director at Monash Health, was investigated
by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Neurosurgical
Society of Australia for allegedly bullying a trainee.
It is understood she was dismissed from Monash Health in June, weeks after bullying allegations against her came to light.

Three out of five female surgeons have
experienced bullying, mainly at the hands of male surgeons.

Dr Maroulis has since lodged an unfair dismissal claim against Monash Health with
Fair Work Australia, in which she alleges she herself was bullied by
higher-ups in the centre's neurosurgery unit and was denied a
promotion because of her sex.
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, which is responsible for
training programs, concluded its investigation into the case in July and
upheld the damning allegations against Dr Maroulis, according to ABC
News.
Imogen Ibbett, a former neurosurgery registrar at the Monash
Medical Centre who spoke out about bullying she had experienced, said
she felt constant fear while working under Ms Maroulis, who was
"extremely abusive".
The investigation reportedly found Dr
Maroulis' bullying to be so serious that the panel was justified in
stripping Monash Medical Centre of accreditation to train neurosurgeons.
But
this action was not taken following Dr Maroulis' departure from Monash
Medical Centre and assurances that new procedures would be put in place
to prevent such behaviour happening again, the ABC reports.
Dr Ibbett, who worked at the centre from 2011 to 2013, told Four Corners that,
overall, she had a positive experience at Monash and found most
surgeons supportive educators, "but certainly a predominant theme was
bullying from one of the female surgeons there, and really just a sort
of constant feeling of fear".
It comes as a College of Surgeons-commissioned report published this week found bullying was endemic in the surgical profession but that people were too afraid to report abuse.
The
report found three out of five female surgeons had experienced
bullying, predominantly at the hands of male senior surgeons.- with Craig Butt
